Top crypto market predictions today: HYPE, XRP, and Algorand

The crypto market rallied today, April 14, as investors predicted that the US and Iran were escalating the rhetoric ahead of a de-escalation ahead of the ceasefire deadline. Bitcoin surged to $94,000, while the market cap of all tokens jumped by over 4%. This article provides a forecast for top altcoins like Hyperliquid (HYPE), Ripple (XRP), and Algorand (ALGO). HYPE price prediction: technical analysis The Hyperliquid token continued its strong rally, reaching a high of $44.65, its highest level since October last year. This rally is happening as traders wait for the upcoming HYPE ETF launch by Bitwise, a top crypto asset manager. The token has also rallied ahead of the upcoming HIP-4 upgrade that will introduce its prediction market features. Additionally, Hyperliquid has emerged as the fastest player in the crypto industry in terms of volume, stablecoin growth, and fees. The daily chart shows that the HYPE price has rebounded from a low of $20 a few months ago to $45 today. It has crossed the important resistance level at $43, invalidating the double-top pattern. The coin has also moved to the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level. It remains above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD indicators have continued rising. Therefore, the HYPE token price will likely continue rising as bulls target the next key resistance at $50 , followed by $60, its highest point last year. HYPE price chart | Source: TradingView XRP price forecast: prepares for a big move XRP price has come under pressure in the past few months. It has dropped to $1.3640, inside a range it has remained at since February this year. This consolidation happened as demand for the token has waned, as evidenced by the falling ETF inflows . A closer look shows that the token is forming a symmetrical triangle pattern whose two lines are nearing their confluence level. This triangle is part of the bearish pennant pattern, which often leads to a strong bearish breakout. The token remains below all moving averages and the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level. This pattern points to an eventual bearish breakout. However, on the positive side, the RSI and the MACD indicators show that they has formed a bullish divergence pattern. Therefore, these patterns mean that XRP is sending mixed signals. What is clear, however, is that the coin is about to have a strong move in either direction ahead. A bearish breakout may have it drop to $1.1175, while a rebound will see it surge to $2.

It then bounced back after announcing a 25% layoff plan and after being mentioned in a Google report. The token has formed a break-and-retest pattern by moving back to $0.0970, its highest point in March and the neckline of the double-bottom pattern. It has stabilized above the 50-day moving average.

Bitcoin breaks $74K as US-Iran deal hopes grow, sparking crypto rally

Bitcoin price has surged past $74,000 to reach a three-week high as traders began pricing the US and Iran coming closer to a deal. The flagship crypto rallied over 5.8% to hit $74,787 at press time after US President Donald Trump said that Iran may be looking to negotiate a new agreement after the American Navy began patrolling vital shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz. The US began enforcing its maritime blockade on Monday morning when President Trump threatened to sink any Iranian naval ship or tanker that would look to pass through the strait. “If any of these ships come anywhere close to our blockade, they will be immediately eliminated,” Trump posted on Truth Social. This was in retaliation for Iran refusing to deal with Western powers and having effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz since the beginning of the war in February. As a result, oil prices surged above $100 a barrel over the weekend, pressuring risk markets. However, with the news that Iran may concede to prevent further damage to its shattered economy, it has once again reignited hopes of de-escalation. Oil prices, including Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, have consequently fallen back below $100 per barrel. Speaking to reporters outside of the Oval Office, Trump said that “the right people” have reached out to the administration for a deal. Short squeeze supports Bitcoin push As previously speculated by Invezz, this latest rally was not unexpected, as there was a dense concentration of high-leverage liquidation clusters between $72,000 and $73,000. With Bitcoin price hitting its highest level for a month, over 180,985 traders were liquidated, totaling $534.65 million. Of this total, over $430 million were leveraged short positions in Bitcoin and Ether. The carnage is still ongoing as, over the past hour, nearly $3.4 million worth of short positions were liquidated as the rally continues. The next key zone that Bitcoin needs to penetrate is between $75,000 and $76,000, where another massive wall of short liquidity resides. According to the CoinGlass liquidation heatmap, a move into this range could trigger a secondary wave of forced buy-ins. If the bulls can maintain enough momentum to pierce the $76,000 psychological barrier, it would likely clear the path for a retest of the all-time high near $77,739. However, the short-term trajectory would also hinge on the March Producer Price Index (PPI) data, which is set for release at 8:30 AM ET later today. If the data comes in cooler than the forecasted 1.2% (MoM), it could signal a welcome cooling of wholesale inflation, suggesting that the Fed may finally have enough breathing room to consider shifting away from its "higher-for-longer" stance. In that case, Bitcoin is well-positioned to capitalize on the returning risk-on sentiment, potentially fueling the momentum needed to liquidate the $76,000 clusters and propel the price toward new record highs.

Bitmine’s Ethereum Holdings Hits 4% Supply Milestone After 71,524 ETH Buy

As Ethereum (ETH) retests a crucial support zone, Bitmine, the second-largest crypto treasury, has announced its latest ETH purchase, which pushed the company’s holdings closer to its ultimate goal. Related Reading: Dogecoin (DOGE) Retreats, Can Bulls Reclaim Upside Momentum? Bitmine Reaches Major 4% ETH Milestone On Monday, the largest Ethereum treasury in the world, Bitmine Immersion Technologies, revealed it had reached a major milestone after purchasing roughly $157 million of ETH in the past week. In its latest update, the company shared that it acquired 71,524 ETH over the past week, its highest pace of buys since the week of December 22, 2025. Bitmine’s Chairman, Tom Lee, detailed that the Ethereum treasury “has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’” Notably, the company has been ramping up its bet on the King of Altcoins over the past month, significantly increasing its average of 45,000-50,000 ETH purchases from previous weeks. Now, the company’s crypto and cash holdings have reached $11.8 billion at current prices, comprised of 4,874,858 ETH, 198 Bitcoin (BTC), a $200 million stake in Beast Industries, an $85 million stake in Eightco Holdings as part of its “Moonshots” initiative, and unencumbered cash worth $719 million. In addition, Bitmine’s Ethereum holdings have reached 4% of the total ETH supply. This represents a key milestone toward the company’s goal of controlling 5% of the leading altcoin’s 120.7 million supply, which is currently 81% complete. Last week, the treasury firm announced its uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) from the NYSE American on April 9, 2026, and the expansion of the share repurchase program to $4 billion. Ethereum Starts Q2 In Green In the weekly update, Lee also discussed ETH’s performance amid the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran, noting that “this war remains the most important driver of global markets.” He highlighted that “ETH is now the best-performing asset since the start of the war, with a 17.4% gain and outperforming the S&P 500 by 1,830 basis points. And we believe ETH beating gold by 2,743 basis points demonstrates ETH is the wartime store of value.” “Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains,” he continued. Market observer Daan Crypto Trades pointed out that Ethereum started the quarter “slightly in the green so far,” with a 3.7% increase Quarter-to-Date (QTD), according to CoinGlass data. The trader noted that this quarter “is generally the best quarter, together with Q1, for Ethereum,” as it has ended in green eight out of ten times, with an average and median return of 58.3% and 15.3%, respectively. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Must Hold This Level Or Price Could Crash To $65,000 Again Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ted Pillows highlighted that ETH is back in its $2,150-$2,200 support zone after the weekend pump. Per the post, if this zone holds, the King of Altcoins could rally back above $2,250 and potentially move toward last month’s top near $2,400. Nonetheless, they warned investors about a potential drop if momentum doesn’t hold. “We’ve seen that historical price action has not really been in Crypto’s favor the past year, so take everything with a grain of salt,” Daan cautioned.

$2.7M Bitcoin Buy: Politician-Backed Stack BTC Expands Treasury

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has become the first sitting British MP and party leader to publicly back Bitcoin — a distinction his own company was quick to highlight when it announced his involvement. A Company Built Around A Single Asset Stack BTC , listed on the Aquis exchange and chaired by former UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, bought 37 Bitcoin on Monday for roughly $2.7 million, or about £2 million. The purchase price worked out to approximately $72,385 per coin. The company now holds 68.19 BTC in total. Stack BTC markets itself as a way for UK investors to gain crypto exposure through public markets — essentially a listed vehicle that holds Bitcoin so ordinary shareholders don’t have to hold it themselves. Its share price climbed 7.3% on Monday, closing at $14.42, up from $13.42 at Friday’s close. BREAKING: Nigel Farage has purchased £2m of Bitcoin for Stack BTC – becoming the first sitting MP and the first UK political party leader in history to publicly buy Bitcoin. A landmark moment for Bitcoin in British politics. $STAK @Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc … pic.twitter.com/O614kKe5TN — Stack BTC (@stackbtc_) April 13, 2026 Farage already had skin in the game before Monday’s announcement. He disclosed a $286,000 equity stake in Stack BTC, giving him a 6.31% minority holding in the company. Kwarteng holds a stake as well. Both investments were disclosed in March. In a video tied to Monday’s purchase, Farage said a Bitcoin treasury company could not function without actually holding BTC. Kwarteng said the firm had made significant progress over recent weeks. Reform UK Pulled In $18M In Crypto Donations Last Year The announcement lands at an awkward moment for Farage politically. Over the past year, Reform UK collected around $18 million in crypto-linked donations — more than either the ruling Labour Party or the Conservatives. That figure drew scrutiny from regulators and transparency groups. The UK government responded by pushing forward plans to temporarily prohibit crypto donations to political parties. UK lawmakers have since called for a moratorium on such contributions. The proposed ban would cut off one of Reform UK’s most productive funding streams. Farage has not publicly addressed that conflict directly. Bitcoin Backing Puts Farage Ahead Of His UK Political Rivals Reports indicate that no other sitting British MP or party leader has taken a comparable financial position in Bitcoin. Stack BTC described Farage’s involvement as a landmark moment for Bitcoin in British politics. Whether that framing holds depends partly on what happens next in Parliament, where the crypto donation restrictions are still working their way through.
